Return For Good

LESSON
# 432 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

Return
For Good

Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran
(The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)

Verse
–145 of 200, Section –15 (Part – 4)

No soul can ever die except by Allah’s leave
and at a term appointed. Whoso desireth the reward of the world, We bestow on
him thereof; and whoso desireth the reward of the Hereafter, We bestow on him
thereof. And We shall reward the thankful.

It has been told in this verse that none can die
without the order of Allah Almighty, no matter how much reasons for death are collected. Moreover, death of every
person occurs at its specific time. If the situation is likewise then the people who have trust in Allah Almighty should
neither be confounded from it and nor be disappointed and doubting after
hearing the death of any young or old.

The person who desires the reward of his good
deeds in the world, Allah Almighty will bestow on him thereof; and whoso desires
the reward in the Hereafter, He will bestow on him thereof. For instance; the squad
of archers disobeyed the Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) in the Battle of ‘Uhud and
broke in collecting the booty. Those people wanted reward of strife and
struggle (Jihaad) in the path of
Allah Almighty in the world. Second type of the people is those who executed
the order of Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
For instance, chief of archers Abdullah bin Jabiir
and his only ten companions (archers) saw the enemies running away from the
battlefield and found the Muslims collecting the booty, but they did not move
from their place. They preferred the Obedience of Holy Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) instead of property and material belonging to
this world. They remained steadfast in obedience of Holy Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) without caring for the booty. Reward for these
type of particular people is in the Hereafter.

The people who will remain steadfast upon the religion,
they will get the religion also as well as there will be no deduction in their
property in the world, and they will succeed in the Hereafter too. Allah
Almighty will grant them more rewards who feel obliged and value the
graciousness. Some people become so blind in the greed and selfishness and lose
their senses that their belief does not remain in Hereafter. They say that they
should be paid their reward for their deeds in cash not in loan (in the
Hereafter). They think that it is unknown and not sure to come again to be
alive. They want to get the rewards of their virtues, hardworking and goodness in
this world. Such people remain in severe loss because getting reward in this
world is nothing as compared to the Hereafter.
